Top Romney Adviser Faults Obama For Murder Of U.S. Ambassador, Claims Romney Would Have Prevented Attack
The Romney campaign has escalated their attacks on President Obama following the murder of four Americans, including the ambassador, in Libya. In an interview with the Washington Post, Mitt Romneys top foreign policy adviser pinned the blame for the attacks squarely on Obama and flatly claimed they would not have happened if Romney had been president:
Advisers to Mitt Romney on Thursday defended his sharp criticism of President Obama and said that the deadly protests sweeping the Middle East would not have happened if the Republican nominee were president.
Theres a pretty compelling story that if you had a President Romney, youd be in a different situation, Richard Williamson, a top Romney foreign policy adviser, said in an interview. For the first time since Jimmy Carter, weve had an American ambassador assassinated.
Previously, Romney, his campaign and the Republican Party accused Obama of sympathizing with the terrorists who killed Americans in the hours after the attack. The accusation quickly recieved widespread, bipartisan condemnation. Romney then repeated the charge.

But his campaign responded by noting that the protests this week were triggered by the video, not by U.S. policy, and that the video likely would still have been produced if Romney had been president. And they noted that there have been attacks on Americans under every president in recent history, including Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.
It is astonishing that the Romney campaign continues to shamelessly politicize a sensitive international situation, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said. The fact is that any president of either party is going to be confronted by crises while in office, and Governor Romney continues to demonstrate that he is not at all prepared to manage them.

(3,072 posts)most of the comments on both sites (about 1700 total) are overwhelming negative towards Romney. There are a few republicans in there rambling about god knows what but most people seem completely disgusted. Maybe there is hope for the people of this country after all.

(5 posts)REMEMBER THIS Mitt Romeny is in an alliance with contract killers: In 2008 Jon Roberts confessed that he and Ricky Prado murdered Richard Schwartz who was the stepson of legendary mobster Meyer Lansky. Ricky Prado later joined the CIA in 1982 And his name became Enrique "Ricky" Prado and he obtained the rank SIS-2 an equivalent of a 2 star general, Prado ran the targeted assassination unit " ie: (contract killers unit)" first at the CIA then at BLACKWATER. Now Ademi or Xei; where he was vice president from 2004 to 2008. Enrique Prado works closely with J. Cofer Black, top adviser to Mitt Romeny now a presidential contender.
The question begs to be asked; why would Mitt Romeny, a supposedly legit business man need the services of contract killers? Did any of the various corporate entities executives that Mitt Romeny raided and stripped of cash reserves and pension funds die under suspicious circumstances???
Mitt Romeny went from College Bully to Crime Boss of a Criminal Syndicate and now has Contract killers at his disposal through his top adviser J. Cofer Black (of Blackwater fame now known as Ademei or Xei) many RNC delegates have been violence threatened by Gun, broken Bones, stolen Ballot Boxes, all stated by Richard Gilbert attorney at law representing Ron Paul and other delegates..(see Richard Gilbert You Tube videos)
REMEMBER THIS: Mitt Romeny went from College Bully to Crime Boss of a Criminal Syndicate and now has Contract killers at his disposal through his top adviser J. Cofer Black (of Blackwater fame now known as Ademei or Xei) many RNC delegates have been violence threatened by Gun, broken Bones, stolen Ballot Boxes, Never seen in this country before? I have seen it. I have seen it in Livingston County, Michigan long before Romney ran for president. Why would Mitt Romeny have contract killers around? Logic says that he must be using them! Is Romney the crime boss of a criminal syndicate? It feels that way. Mitt Romeny's Bain Capital busines plan is Vulture Capitalism which seek businesses in dire straits, David Widlak was such a person who was seeking new investors, there is a 80% certainty that they met. I am really wondering if the phone call from the Hampton country club just previous to David Widlak's death came from the one close to where Mitt Romeny has a house in the Hamptons, and why are they not reconstructing who was there when the call to David Widlak was made???
An email TIP sent to: DonkeyD (me); by BlueTreeMarie at mobile Rolling Stone Magazine:
EMAIL TO: DonkeyD, As a matter of fact there was a bank president that died
under suspicious circumstances here in Michigan. The bank he founded
was going under and he had met with some possible investors he had
expressed concern about to his wife. "He had received a phone call
just before his death from a country club in the Hamptons." He was
shot in the back of the head execution style and found in a nearby
marsh off the lake. There's more if you wish to Google it. His name
was David Widlak.

Since I know that W. Mitt Romeny has a house in the Hamptons and many connections in Michigan,
I would really like to know if he is also a member of the country club in the Hamptons from which that phone call was made.
The bank's collapse and Widlak's death have drawn in a collection of powerful political and social figures -- names including Ford, Stroh, Dingell, Hackel, Patterson, French and Booth. Some say Widlak's family won't accept the painful notion that he could have killed himself over personal and professional problems
But a team of lawyers, criminal investigators, doctors and other experts working on behalf of his widow, Anne Widlak, says the trail of forensic clues, e-mails, financial records, a nightstand memo and a washed-out note clutched in the dead man's hand point to murder. The lakeside scene alone stymies a suicide scenario, the sheriff was very quick to call the death a suicide, Former Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel and others have maintained that the evidence, though not conclusive, points strongly to David Widlak's death as a suicide. Investigators hired by his widow, Anne Widlak, said their work -- sometimes drawing contrary conclusion from the same evidence -- indicates homicide. Some key points:
